-WWE Raw is live tonight in Austin, Texas at the Frank Erwin Center. John Cena is not advertised for Raw for the second time in three weeks and is presumably filming more movie scenes. Maybe he will appear via satellite? Yeah, probably not. Join me for live coverage of Raw beginning Raw Pre-Show notes as that show streams on WWE Network at 6:30 p.m. CT.

-We are looking for correspondents for tonight's WWE Raw in Austin, Texas, Tuesday's WWE Smackdown taping in Laredo, Texas, and the TNA Impact Wrestling television tapings that will be held Tuesday through Thursday in New York City this week. If you are going to any of those shows and want to help, contact me right away at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
